Seriously, when you read reviews online of all kinds of appliance repair services, you really…read morescratch your head before tossing a coin and crossing all sorts of things in the hope that you'll get someone who seems competent and above all honest. I decided not to go for a page 1 Google search selection for 'washing machine repair W14' and scrolled through to see if there were any independent nuggets to be found on page 4. There is something to be said for a form whose name isn't AAAAA11111 Washing Machine Repair or something which is simply trying to win the alphabetical classification war. An old Yellow Pages trick, tainted with Watchdog reports. So I see a name of a bloke, not trying to pretend to be anything other than a someone who owns a repair firm that might like your business if you can find them. Still a coin spin but one that feels more like it might be worth a punt. Bearing in mind that the cost of consumer goods has come down to a point where repair is nearly a second choice for many owners, competition has forced companies into fixed price repairs. So the various franchise services seem to hover around the £50-£80 mark. Not expensive in many ways, particularly if you just want to see if you need to ship your 6-year old machine off to the appliance cemetery. This company was offering a bargain basement price for its service. Enough to make you wonder how they could undercut the market like that. But also enough to encourage you to think "what have I got to lose?" After a difficult start where it looked like the technician might get straight back in his van because there's very little parking round where I live, and having to make sure I subbed him for the pay and display, we were off. The chap was affable, polite and happy to explain what he's going to do next in the manner of a good dentist. He talked through what he was doing as he removed the motor, after checking it wasn't just a belt problem causing the drum not to turn (I was ahead of him, having checked this myself, but it was reassuring to see he was following a method I had found on the internet in the vain hope I might DIY the problem away). Ultimately, he could find nothing wrong but had a sneaking suspicion it was just a loose connection. He reattached the motor firmly, and we were back in business. Loose connection it was. Alright, you don't really want have to pay someone just to plug something back in, but for peace of mind that you're not going to have to shell-out for a brand new machine, it was money well-spent. He left a few grubby marks to go along with my own, which might upset you if you were more fastidious than me, but otherwise, though my experience was limited to one minor fix, if there were any future problems, this company would be my first call.

Guys be careful. There is no coordination between Currys showroom, deliveryman and customer…read moreservice. While customer is sharing the requirements to sales guys at the time of buying,it is either not being communicated or honoured by delivery team. Later raising this to customer service number,you will be advised to visit store as this is in-store shopping. Now a customer need to forgo all his office work and rush to store,so as to get issue resolved!! What a pity!!

We were moving out of our 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment on a holiday weekend. Due to a few last minute…read morecircumstances, we realized we needed outside assistance to clean the place. It wasn't in the worst shape, but our landlord was a Grade A A$$hole, so we knew it had to be perfect. I desperately called many cleaners. It was a Thursday and we needed someone for Sunday or Monday (holiday). No one was available. Finally I called Cost Effective Cleaners! they really came through. Their tech Jason came by promptly to do a consultation, was super nice and friendly, and was totally on time with his cleaning team on the morning of the move out. OH MY GOSH, after his team finished, the place looked better than I have ever seen it. I didn't want to move! The team made a bunch of crap appliances from the 80s gleam like new. Also, they were sweet, and their leader made a point to take me around the apartment to show me their work at the end to check for my approval. Cost Effective Cleaners saved the day for this move out clean, and I am looking into hiring them for my regular cleaning service.

went to smiths today!!!!!!!!!I had a great experience ,we needed to get some plants for the garden…read moreand we were really sucsessful today.I was really pleased with the experience today.There were thousands of plants in the garden centre,there were a lot in the inside area and an absolute abundance of plants outside.Also all plants were well kept and very watered,actually helped me keep cool in all this heat,they obviously take pride in each and every one of their plants.Also there is so much stock of everything(plants and non-plants).This has really pleased me as I've seen some garden centres which has hardly any plants and they are all neglected.However in this garden centre,they even have Christmas trees in June,but I suppose today(the day I wrote my review)is only 6 months till Christmas Eve!!!!!!!!!But I cannot see why you can't have a Christmas tree in June if you want to.I brought 3 small ones!!!!!!!!!Also I've been to garden centres in Christmas and they haven't had christmas trees.Also they were really well staffed as well,and our cashier was polite and even offered for someone to help us load the car.Also the smiths golf thing right at the back of the garden centre looks great and I'm sure will make a lot of money for the garden centre.Also their drive thru concept to collect soil was good and very well thought out,it's like a McDonald's drive thru but you show you're receipt to staff and then drive on to get the soil.Lovely experience!!!!!!!!

Smiths is a large garden centre just outside Uxbridge. There is a vast choice of greenery for sale…read morein a huge outdoor area, and also an indoor shopping area and cafe (not tried). It offers an extremely comprehensive range of products. Staff in the outside area can be hard to find but there are knowledgeable staff available if you need advice as I did when selecting a fruit tree for my garden. The level of customer service is high, I was surprised to discover that if you buy a heavy bag of fertiliser or compost it will be taken to your car on an electric carrier! So all in all a recommended place to go for garden supplies and products.
